I will do it for 2000

OP, I'm with you 1,000%. No matter how much advanced planning I do and how carefully I measure, something is always slightly off, or the frames themselves wind up being a little off-balance, or whatever. This is something I'd love to outsource instead of just having a box full of unhung pictures in frames!

When i was hanging a bunch of little frames, I cut templates from paper for each frame, labeled it, marked on the frame exactly where the nail should be positioned and then arranged the paper templates on the wall and taped them up when I was happy.

Then I could just hammer a nail through the marked nail spot. It worked great -- perfect alignment!

What a stupid sexist comment. Why would one need a husband to hang frames? I need a level and a hammer, not a penis.

Freak.

A basic handyman.

What kind of anchors am I looking for? Ones that go into brick?

no you don't you just need to install the right anchors.

c'mon this is a DIY and just common sense - tape measure, pencil, level, hammer, nails, hooks

...use a level.

Whenever I try to hang pucture frames, they are just a tiny bit off, and they look terrible when next to each other. Can anyone recommend a professional to hang frames so that they all line up?
